Evening in Edinburgh

Evening in Edinburgh is the third striking pattern in the “Packing for Edinburgh” collection, featuring a stylish swing coat designed to elevate your wardrobe. Perfectly crafted in a bold statement color, this versatile piece seamlessly transitions from lunchtime outings to museum visits, from cozy pub gatherings to elegant dinner dates. This swing coat is ingeniously knit from the top down, giving you flexibility in your approach. You have the option to knit it flat (Why not try steeking instead?) or work it in the round, finishing with a simple steek that requires just about 15 minutes of your time. Please note that the knitting instructions are provided in separate files for your convenience.

As you progress, you'll encounter increases after the sleeves are separated, allowing you to customize the length of the coat to suit your personal style—whether you prefer it shorter or longer, the choice is yours! Just remember to try it on as you knit to ensure the perfect fit.

The arms of this coat are designed in a chic kimono style, offering a relaxed fit that is both fashionable and comfortable. They are crafted to be bracelet length, but feel free to adjust the length to your preference—whether you like them longer or shorter, it's entirely up to you! Keep in mind that the fabric may evolve and grow after blocking, so plan accordingly for your final look.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for an easy-to-follow knit or an experienced knitter ready for a fun new project, Evening in Edinburgh is the perfect addition to your knitting repertoire. Dive into this pattern today and expressing your unique style!
